英文摘要：

Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) based camera attribution is an effective method to determine the source camera of visual media (an image or a video). To apply this method, images or videos need to be obtained from a camera to create a "camera fingerprint" which then can be compared against the PRNU of the query media whose origin is under question. The fingerprint extraction process can be time-consuming when a large number of video frames or images have to be denoised. This may need to be done when the individual images have been subjected to high compression or other geometric processing such as video stabilization. This paper investigates a simple, yet effective and efficient technique to create a camera fingerprint when so many still images need to be denoised. The technique utilizes Spatial Domain Averaged (SDA) frames. An SDA-frame is the arithmetic mean of multiple still images. When it is used for fingerprint extraction, the number of denoising operations can be significantly decreased with little or no performance loss. Experimental results show that the proposed method can work more than 50 times faster than conventional methods while providing similar matching results.

On the Security and Applicability of Fragile Camera Fingerprints

Camera sensor noise is one of the most reliable device characteristics in digital image forensics, enabling the unique linkage of images to digital cameras. This so-called camera fingerprint gives rise to different applications, such as image forensics and authentication. However, if images are publicly available, an adversary can estimate the fingerprint from her victim and plant it into spurious images. The concept of fragile camera fingerprints addresses this attack by exploiting asymmetries in data access: While the camera owner will always have access to a full fingerprint from uncompress…

Anti-Forensics of Camera Identification and the Triangle Test by Improved Fingerprint-Copy Attack

The fingerprint-copy attack aims to confuse camera identification based on sensor pattern noise. However, the triangle test shows that the forged images undergone fingerprint-copy attack would share a non-PRNU (Photo-response nonuniformity) component with every stolen image, and thus can detect fingerprint-copy attack. In this paper, we propose an improved fingerprint-copy attack scheme. Our main idea is to superimpose the estimated fingerprint into the target image dispersedly, via employing a block-wise method and using the stolen images randomly and partly. We also develop a practical metho…

Warwick Image Forensics Dataset for Device Fingerprinting In Multimedia Forensics

University of Warwick（华威大学）；Deakin University（迪肯大学）；Hangzhou Dianzi University（杭州电子科技大学）

Device fingerprints like sensor pattern noise (SPN) are widely used for provenance analysis and image authentication. Over the past few years, the rapid advancement in digital photography has greatly reshaped the pipeline of image capturing process on consumer-level mobile devices. The flexibility of camera parameter settings and the emergence of multi-frame photography algorithms, especially high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, bring new challenges to device fingerprinting. The subsequent study on these topics requires a new purposefully built image dataset. In this paper, we present the Warwick…

SSS-PRNU: Privacy-Preserving PRNU Based Camera Attribution using Shamir Secret Sharing

Photo Response Non-Uniformity(PRNU) noise has proven to be very effective tool in camera based forensics. It helps to match a photo to the device that clicked it. In today's scenario, where millions and millions of images are uploaded every hour, it is very easy to compute this unique PRNU pattern from a couple of shared images on social profiles. This endangers the privacy of the camera owner and becomes a cause of major concern for the privacy-aware society. We propose SSS-PRNU scheme that facilitates the forensic investigators to carry out their crime investigation without breaching the pri…

A comparison study of CNN denoisers on PRNU extraction

Southwest University of Science and Technology（西南科技大学）；SUNY Binghamton（纽约州立大学宾汉姆顿分校）

Performance of the sensor-based camera identification (SCI) method heavily relies on the denoising filter in estimating Photo-Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU). Given various attempts on enhancing the quality of the extracted PRNU, it still suffers from unsatisfactory performance in low-resolution images and high computational demand. Leveraging the similarity of PRNU estimation and image denoising, we take advantage of the latest achievements of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based denoisers for PRNU extraction. In this paper, a comparative evaluation of such CNN denoisers on SCI performance…

Facing Device Attribution Problem for Stabilized Video Sequences

A problem deeply investigated by multimedia forensics researchers is the one of detecting which device has been used to capture a video. This enables to trace down the owner of a video sequence, which proves extremely helpful to solve copyright infringement cases as well as to fight distribution of illicit material (e.g., underage clips, terroristic threats, etc.). Currently, the most promising methods to tackle this task exploit unique noise traces left by camera sensors on acquired images. However, given the recent advancements in motion stabilization of video content, robustness of sensor p…

Source Camera Attribution of Multi-Format Devices

Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) based source camera attribution is an effective method to determine the origin camera of visual media (an image or a video). However, given that modern devices, especially smartphones, capture images, and videos at different resolutions using the same sensor array, PRNU attribution can become ineffective as the camera fingerprint and query visual media can be misaligned. We examine different resizing techniques such as binning, line-skipping, cropping and scaling that cameras use to downsize the raw sensor image to different media. Taking such techniques in…

Comprint: Image Forgery Detection and Localization using Compression Fingerprints

Ghent University – imec（根特大学-imec）；Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II（那不勒斯费德里科二世大学）

Manipulation tools that realistically edit images are widely available, making it easy for anyone to create and spread misinformation. In an attempt to fight fake news, forgery detection and localization methods were designed. However, existing methods struggle to accurately reveal manipulations found in images on the internet, i.e., in the wild. That is because the type of forgery is typically unknown, in addition to the tampering traces being damaged by recompression. This paper presents Comprint, a novel forgery detection and localization method based on the compression fingerprint or compr…

On Addressing the Impact of ISO Speed upon PRNU and Forgery Detection

University of Warwick（华威大学）；Deakin University（迪肯大学）

Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) has been used as a powerful device fingerprint for image forgery detection because image forgeries can be revealed by finding the absence of the PRNU in the manipulated areas. The correlation between an image's noise residual with the device's reference PRNU is often compared with a decision threshold to check the existence of the PRNU. A PRNU correlation predictor is usually used to determine this decision threshold assuming the correlation is content-dependent. However, we found that not only the correlation is content-dependent, but it also depends on th…
